Hi Daniela,
Just to check I've understood, are you expecting to be able to launch a container on the WN @ ECDF?
As far as I know we've no plans to support this yet.
We're looking to migrate to use openstack over the next few months so we might be able to look into containers after this if they're needed.
I'll check with Andy and Marcus about any fixes to support ATLAS jobs on the site as we will likely be able to change any env variables if they're causing problems for other VOs.(although lhcb jobs seem unaffected)
Best Regards,
Rob

This will obviously not help any other VOs that ECDF supports (gridpp, lsst and of more urgent concern: lz). Based on the discussion at the last technical meeting (I wasn't there, but Simon tells me so), we would have expected some kind of container support. Are there any plans to do this ?
